Vacation

For vacation this year we went to Duluth and stayed there for a few days and then headed up to Gunflint lake to stay with some family friends. It is totally beautiful there!! Several of us went for a really long hike thing it was like 5 miles, it was really fun!!

After that we went down to by Echo, Minnesota for the Thompson/Faugstad wedding that was really nice. Last Sunday I walked into Echo with Jeremy and Matt. Jeremy wanted to go see some of his school friends and I was going to see Brittany Boyum. It was great seeing Brittany and while I was at her house we had a blast. We stalked houses and people and rode bike around Echo. It was really fun!!

We got back monday really late and then Yesterday we had dentist appointments for several of the other kids. Today were busy unpacking and getting everything unpacked. Jeremys busy packing up for school. I think that's everything.

The best times!!

I had one of the best weeks of my life this last week. On last Monday Barb brought me and the rest of the LYA people from our church down to Mankato. We went to Kay Millers house, Kay organized almost everything for the bus trip and a lot for LYA, she is a wonderful person! At Kays she told us all where we would be staying the night. Sammy and I ended up staying with our wonderful camp cabin mate Brittany, at another cabin mate Martha's house.

The next morning we left from Mt. Olive at 6:30am. WAY to early for me but at least we got to Virginia. That night we stopped at a church in Ohio and had pizza, devotion then went to bed.

That day we got to sleep in we didn't have to leave till 7:00 -by the way for those of you who don't know me that well I'm being sarcastic about sleeping in- :). We arrived to go White Water rafting a little after noon. White Water Rafting was a BLAST!! It was so much fun I definitely recommend it if u have an extra $50 laying around and you are in the area.

We went rafting in that river this pic is from the bridge above.

The next day we got to Virginia Beach early so we stopped at First landing state park. It is beautiful there and really HOT. But that's okay by me because I love heat, sun and the ocean. After we left there we went to the collage Norfolk State University the campus is wonderful and the dorms are so nice.

I love this!

On Friday we went to Virginia Beach and Boardwalk. That place is amazing the beach is so beautiful and the waves are amazing. Stuff is pretty well priced not cheap but not to spendy. And I got a tattoo, one of the temporary ones the like dye your skin for two months. Well don't trust them mine lasted four days. It was really cute though and I think when I turn eighteen I'm going to get one.

Getting my tattoo.

Saturday we went to the Jamestown settlement and the to a cruise ship. It was really fun there was a dance on the cruise and we ate pizza, played cards and danced.

Figure it out

We left Sunday after church and headed to Washington DC it took FOREVER to get there but it was worth it. We got out and walked around a bit we saw the white house and walked to several of the memorials. It's really pretty layout there and if you've never been there I suggest it.

Our nations capitol.
